Job 38:31–41
31 “Can you bind the chainsb of the Pleiades?
Can you loosen Orion’s belt?w
32 Can you bring forth the constellationsx in their seasonsc
or lead out the Beard with its cubs?y
33 Do you know the lawsz of the heavens?a
Can you set up God’se dominion over the earth?
34 “Can you raise your voice to the clouds
and cover yourself with a flood of water?b
35 Do you send the lightning bolts on their way?c
Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?
36 Who gives the ibis wisdomf d
or gives the rooster understanding?g e
37 Who has the wisdom to count the clouds?
Who can tip over the water jarsf of the heavensg
38 when the dust becomes hardh
and the clods of earth stick together?i
39 “Do you hunt the prey for the lioness
and satisfy the hunger of the lionsj
40 when they crouch in their densk
or lie in wait in a thicket?l
41 Who provides foodm for the ravenn
when its young cry out to God
and wander about for lack of food?o
